After a bit of a hiatus, we're back and will be publishing an episode monthly. In this episode, hosts Emma Tumilty and Danica Davies talk with Zoe Tongue about her paper, "Locating Abortion and Contraception on the Obstetric Violence Continuum" appearing in Volume 17, Issue 1 of the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics. We'd like to also thank Hannah Carpenter, PhD candidate in the Department of Bioethics and Health Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch for her support in correcting the transcript.
In this episode of High Theory, Laura Stamm talks about the biopic. One of the oldest forms of narrative cinema, biographical pictures are a mainstay of the medium today. Early biopics played an important role in public health discourse, representing the discoveries of science and the lives of scientists, which in turn led queer artists to adopt the genre in response to the AIDS crisis. Laura's book, The Queer Biopic in the AIDS Era (Oxford UP, 2022), asks why queer filmmakers repeatedly produced biographical films of queer individuals living and dead throughout the years surrounding the AIDS crisis. These films evoke the genre's history building up lives worthy of admiration and emulation and the parallel history of representing lives damaged. By portraying lives damaged by inconceivable loss, queer filmmakers challenge the illusion of a coherent self presumably reinforced by the biopic genre and in doing so, their films open the potential for new means of connection and relationality. In the episode Laura references many films, including the Greta Garbo film Queen Christina (1933); Freud: The Secret Passion (1962); The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936); Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940); John Greyson's musical Zero Patience (1993); and the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black (2024). Her research extends beyond the 1980s moment of crisis, and in the episode she gives a good explainer pre-code Hollywood and (briefly) the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s.

Laura Stamm is Assistant Professor of Health Humanities and Bioethics and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Department of Medicine at University of Rochester. She completed her PhD in Film and Media Studies and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Stamm's research interests broadly focuses on LGBTQ+ health, transgender studies, and medicine in visual culture. Beyond the book discussed here, her work has recently appeared in the edited collection New Queer Television: From Marginalization to Mainstream (Intellect Press, 2024) and Synapsis on “From the Clinic to the Talk Show: Narratives of Trans History in Framing Agnes.” The image for this episode shows photographs by Rob Corder of photographs by Peter Hujar of two queer artists, the sculptor Louise Nevelson and the writer, photographer, film maker, etc., David Wojnarowicz.

Disgust, often seen as a primal and universal emotion, can reveal a lot about our values, boundaries, and cultural norms. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers are confronted with something that grosses them out.

Geestelijke gezondheid is een veelbesproken onderwerp op het moment, reikend van de zorgen over de gevolgen van lockdown op het mentale welzijn, de toenemende zichtbaarheid van neurodivergentie en de overvraagde psychologische zorg. Anders dan bij lichamelijke gezondheid wordt mentale gezondheid vaak gezien als subjectief en is daarom de gemeenschappelijke norm van wat “gezond” is extra dwingend, maar ook grotendeels impliciet. De grootste authoriteit op het gebied van geestelijke gezondheid is de Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders gemaakt door de American Psychological Association, die ook in Nederland is de geestelijke gezondheidszorg wordt gebruikt. Als alternatief is er ook nog de International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie. Er is echter veel kritiek op deze beide handleidingen, zowel van buiten de medische zorg als binnenuit. Een voorbeeld is dat Alles Frances, nota bene een schrijver van de DSM-IV, zegt dat vrijwel normaal gedrag steeds meer een label opgeplakt krijgen en vaker met medicijnen wordt behandeld. Prof. dr. Jim van Os, psychiater, zegt: “We zijn een beetje doorgeslagen in osn enthousiasme om iemand een label te geven zodra die zich anders gedraagd. Dit heeft een keerzijde. Door die sticker op iemand te plakken, duw je iemand in een hokje (…) - het bepaalt hoe de samenleving tegen je aankijkt en je wordt opeens in de richting van een specifieke behandeling geduwd omdat die in de behandelrichtlijn van dat specifieke hokje staat.” Hij zegt ook: “Je kunt zo'n diagnose niet objectief vaststellen in het lijf van iemand. Het is niet zoals een gebroken arm die je op een röntgenfoto kunt zien.” Naast de kritiek op specifieke authoriteit is er ook brede kritiek op het bestellen van gezonde geesten en ongezonden geesten, bijvoorbeeld invloedrijk verwoord door Michel Foucault in boeken als Folie et Déraison: Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique. Foucault stelt dat waar voor de Renaissance waanzin werd gezien als een apart soort inzich in de werkelijkheid, vaak ingegeven door goddelijke of bovennatuurlijke krachten, werd waanzin daarna steeds meer gezien als een ziekte, iets om mensen voor te behoeden. Hierdoor werden geesteszieken apart gehouden, onderdrukt en behandeld. Deze kritiek bestaat nog steeds: geestesziekte kan leiden tot gedwongen behandelingen, opname en stereotypering, terwijl mensen die als geestesziek worden bestempeld niet serieus worden genomen in hun kritiek op behandelingen. Waar we in aflevering zes over het gezonde lichaam bespraken hoe cultuur en samenleving gezondheid van het lijf vormen en de grens tussen ziek, gezond en wenselijk bepalen, willen we in deze aflevering onderzoeken hoe dit gebeurt met de gezonde geest. De centrale vraag is: wie bepaalt wie geestelijk gezond is? Te gast is Heleen, die tijdens haar studie Health Humanities onder andere onderzoek deed naar “normality” en “abnormality”. Nu werkt ze in het gezondheidsveld.

In queer culture, silence has been equated with voicelessness, complicity, and even death. Queer Silence insists, however, that silence can be a generative and empowering mode of survival. Triangulating insights from queer studies, disability studies, and rhetorical studies, J. Logan Smilges explores what silence can mean for people whose bodyminds signify more powerfully than their words. Smilges is here in conversation with Travis Chi Wing Lau and Margaret Price.J. Logan Smilges (they/them) is author of Queer Silence: On Disability and Rhetorical Absence and Crip Negativity and assistant professor of English Language and Literatures at the University of British Columbia. Led by commitments to transfeminism and disability justice, their scholarship and teaching lie at the nexus of disability studies, trans studies, queer studies, and rhetoric. Their other writing can be found in Disability Studies Quarterly, College Composition and Communication, Rhetoric Review, and elsewhere.Travis Chi Wing Lau (he/him/his) is Assistant Professor of English at Kenyon College. His research and teaching focus on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature and culture, health humanities, and disability studies. Alongside his scholarship, Lau frequently writes for venues of public scholarship like Synapsis: A Journal of Health Humanities, Public Books, Lapham's Quarterly, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. His poetry has appeared in Wordgathering, Glass, South Carolina Review, Foglifter, and Hypertext, as well as in three chapbooks, The Bone Setter (Damaged Goods Press, 2019), Paring (Finishing Line Press, 2020), and Vagaries (Fork Tine Press, 2022). [travisclau.com]Margaret Price (she/her/hers) is an Associate Professor of English (Rhetoric & Composition) at The Ohio State University, where she also serves as Director of the Disability Studies Program, as well as co-founder and lead PI of the Transformative Access Project. Her award-winning research focuses on sharing concrete strategies and starting necessary dialogues about creating a culture of care and a sense of shared accountability in academic spaces. During Spring 2022, she was in residence at the University of Gothenberg, Sweden, on a Fulbright Grant to study universal design and collective access. Margaret's book Crip Spacetime is forthcoming from Duke University Press in 2024.

Is Buddhism a religion? This is the question that Dr Pierce Salguero, Professor of Asian History & Health Humanities, Program Chair for Multidisciplinary Studies, Integrative Arts, & Health Humanities, The Abington College of Pennsylvania State University asks his first-year students every year.He is an author, researcher, teacher, fan, and critic of Buddhism & Asian medicine and we discuss his new book, Buddhish, a guide to the 20 most important Buddhist ideas for the curious and sceptical. After listening to the podcast, see how you answer the question.Unlike many scholars, he pursued a longstanding interest in Asian religion and medicine as an undergraduate majoring in Anthropology and Cognitive Science and minoring in East Asian Studies at the University of Virginia. After graduating in 1996, then lived in Asia for four years — more than two years in Thailand, with extended stays in India, China, and Indonesia as well. During this time, he trained as a practitioner of Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), and spent time learning hatha-yoga and other Asian healing modalities. He participated in extended stays at Buddhist meditation centers and monasteries in Northeast Thailand and India, including a summer as ananāgārika (white-robed monastic resident) in a Thai Forest-tradition monastery. This is a fascinating bird's eye view into the both the practice and scholarship of Buddhism.Below is excerpted from Dr Salguero's work: http://www.piercesalguero.com/ “Mindfulness: A Balanced IntroductionThe past few decades have seen the emergence of the “Mindfulness Revolution” in mainstream popular culture. Hospitals, prisons, daycare centers, college campuses … mindfulness meditation is seemingly everywhere these days. In fact, since the inception of Buddhism nearly 2500 years ago, Buddhists have understood various facets of their tradition to be sources of health and healing. But how established are the links between meditation and physical health? Why does a certain percentage of people experience psychotic breaks or other adverse mental and physical side-effects from practicing meditation? Are these the symptoms of improper practice or an unavoidable part of spiritual cultivation? Contemporary scientific literature is beginning to document a phenomenon that centuries-old Buddhist texts called “meditation sickness.” Writings from medieval China not only identify the adverse mental and physical symptoms that can arise in the course of meditation practice, but also explain why these pathologies arise and how they can be effectively treated. Might these materials contain important therapeutic information that is relevant for meditators today?This was insightful and gave so many valuable lessons about falling into religions that may lead to addictions rather than solutions to trauma and stress from a world leading expert in the scholarly study of Buddhism who had lived experience in monasteries in Thailand.

This is episode #24 of the podcast and it's Thursday, the 25th of August, 2022. My invited speaker today is Dr. Anna Harris, an anthropologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Society Studies at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Previously, she worked as a doctor in Australia and the UK. For the past 10 years she has been doing ethnographic studies of medicine.Her approach to the social study of medicine is grounded in ethnographic studies of contemporary medical practices, to which she adds her clinical experience working in hospitals, as well as collaborations with historians, doctors, artists, museum specialists and craftspeople. Her research is focused on the anthropology and history of technological medical practices, especially concerning questions of sensorality, embodiment and learning. Dr. Harris also writes about hospital infrastructures in her blog and her twitterfeed. Currently, she is a member of the Maastricht Young Academy and the Global Young Academy, as well as a member of the Inner City Research Ethics Committee.We started the discussion with the definition of health humanities (as compared with medical humanities), and its role in health professions education. Despite its increasing popularity, the field's contribution to desired learning outcomes is still to be assessed and proven.We then somewhat turned the dialogue toward diagnosis practices of care (within and outside clinics), where ‘sensory work' seems to be very important. One problem for caregivers, like parents, for instances, is how to assign diagnostic meaning to potential childhood disease. Some important questions here are ‘How do caregivers know what warrants (usually immediate) medical care?' and ‘How do they judge the severity of their child's illness?'The second part of the interview covered the future of digital technologies (including immersive technologies like mixed reality and artificial intelligence) as contributing to teaching sensory awareness in diagnosis and practices of care.Here is the show.Show Notes:- health humanities (vs. medical humanities) - diagnosis and practices of care (with their ‘sensory work')- caregivers making sense of symptoms and signs of possible disease - Western medical practice (objective evidence-based judgments of health) vs. patient's or caregiver's experience - the future of digital technologies (like MR and AI) for teaching sensory awarenessRelevant papers: 1) SE Carr, F Noya, B Phillips, A Harris, et al.

Kim speaks with Amanda Caleb about Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia. Amanda says that the classic definition of “heterotopia” is found in Foucault's article “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (Architecture /Mouvement/Continuité, October, 1984). She also mentions The Birth of the Clinic. In comparison to Foucault's heterotopia, we talk a bit about Mikhail Bakhtin's concepts of the carnivalesque and the chronotope. If you're interested in reading more about heterotopias, check out Amanda's article: “Contested Spaces: The Heterotopias of the Victorian Sickroom” in Humanities vol. 8 no. 2 (April 2019). Amanda is a professor of English and Medical and Health Humanities at Misericordia University. She also runs a super cool podcast called the Health Humanist. She was kind enough to interview me about a crazy 1978 medical satire called House of God back in November 2020. This week's image is Gustave Caillebotte's Les jardiners (1875). Below is a map of the “Gardens and Pleasure Grounds Baltimore Argyleshire” from The Art & Craft of Garden Making by Thomas Hayton Mawson (London : B.T. Batsford, 1900).

Wednesday, 29 September 2021, 12:30 – 1:30pm A seminar by Amir Cohen-Shalev, University of Haifa as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Lunchtime Seminar Series in association with Trinity Long Room Hub. Prof Shalev has written widely on ageing through cinema and literature, including a seminal book, Visions of Aging, in 2009. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama, health sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and languages. Medical and health humanities seeks to provide insights into the cultural and social contexts within which diverse but interrelated concerns such as the human condition, the individual experience of illness and suffering, and the way medicine is (or was) practiced, might be understood. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities initiative seeks to cultivate a richer understanding of the interactions and synergies between practices and discourses of wellness, health or medicine and the arts, humanities or culture through interdisciplinary research and education.
Wednesday, 20 April 2022, 12:30 – 1:30pm ‘“When the pulse won't yield a fee” the perceived relationship between medicine and the funeral trade in 18th century England' a seminar by Dr Dan O'Brien (Bath) as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Lunchtime Seminar Series in association with the Trinity Long Room Hub. Description During the long eighteenth century the management of death was increasingly performed by a variety of different specialists: doctors, lawyers, clergymen and undertakers. In the popular culture of the period, the relationship between two of these professions was a source of great comment and satire. Doctors and undertakers were satirised because it was argued that they wielded significant authority over the fate of the dying person. Their shared interest in the condition of the dying person was highlighted by depictions that reminded audiences of the similarities which were shared by the professions such as specialist terminology, unique tools and an intimate knowledge of the human body. It is significant that some satirists interpreted the shared motives of doctors and undertakers as a cause of competition between the two parties. In these depictions, the doctor's ailing patient was snatched away by the undertaker, thus depriving him of any more payment or the chance to take the body for his own use. This paper considers how collaboration or competition were presented in popular culture and what this tells us about perceptions of professionals' motives during and after death. This approach will also allow us to discuss how satirists perceived the consequences of professionals at the deathbed. Did the comfort and reassurance offered by the professions outweigh the apparent lack of agency over one's final days and hours? Speaker Bio Dr Dan O'Brien is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath. His research focuses on the undertaking trade and their products in eighteenth century England. This has included a detailed analysis of the early trade in the west of England, with a specific focus on the prosperous settlements of Bath, Bristol and Salisbury. His research also seeks to understand how the undertakers and their goods were perceived by society, by analysing how death and dying were presented in the popular culture of the period. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama, health sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and languages. Medical and health humanities seeks to provide insights into the cultural and social contexts within which diverse but interrelated concerns such as the human condition, the individual experience of illness and suffering, and the way medicine is (or was) practiced, might be understood.

Wednesday, 6 April 2022, 12:30 – 1:30pm ‘“They attached no blame to the staff in charge”: The Role of Dublin Workhouse Officials in Preventing and Contributing to Institutional Mortality, 1872-1913' a seminar by Shelby Zimmerman (TCD) as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Lunchtime Seminar Series in association with Trinity Long Room Hub. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama, health sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and languages. Medical and health humanities seeks to provide insights into the cultural and social contexts within which diverse but interrelated concerns such as the human condition, the individual experience of illness and suffering, and the way medicine is (or was) practiced, might be understood. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities initiative seeks to cultivate a richer understanding of the interactions and synergies between practices and discourses of wellness, health or medicine and the arts, humanities or culture through interdisciplinary research and education. During the Great Famine from 1845 to 1852, the Irish workhouse was associated in the public consciousness with dying and the mistreatment of the dead. By the end of the nineteenth century, the role of the workhouse shifted from poor relief to medical relief and thus became the largest and most accessible medical institution for the poor. Despite the workhouse's newfound status as a medical institution, it was still plagued by the reputation of its Famine counterpart. Through an analysis of the North and South Dublin Unions, this paper will examine whether that stigma was warranted in post-Famine Dublin. It will look at the treatment of inmates to ascertain whether the Board of Guardians and medical officers were complicit in mortality rates. It will analyse ward management and staffing to determine whether negligence was inherent or a reflection on the medical officers. This paper will also examine how the Guardians responded to infectious disease and whether it revealed different attitudes towards different classes of inmates. Ultimately, this paper will determine if workhouse staff sought to reduce institutional mortality or contributed to the workhouse's stigma. Speaker Biography Shelby Zimmerman is a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin studying the medicalisation of death in the Dublin city workhouses from 1872 to 1920 centring on the role the workhouse played in Dublin's medical landscape for the sick and dying poor. She is primarily interested in the history of medicine, institutions, the Irish Poor Law, poverty, and death. She received her BS in History and Museum Studies from Towson University in Maryland and her MPhil with Distinction from Trinity College Dublin in Modern Irish History. Shelby is an Early Career Researcher in the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute. She is also the co-curator of the Little Museum of Dublin's upcoming exhibition on Victorian medicine.

Wednesday, 23 March 2022, 12:30am – 1:30pm 'Making Breath Visible: A Medical Humanities Approach' a seminar by Professor Jane MacNaughton (Durham) as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Lunchtime Seminar Series in association with Trinity Long Room Hub. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama, health sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and languages. Medical and health humanities seeks to provide insights into the cultural and social contexts within which diverse but interrelated concerns such as the human condition, the individual experience of illness and suffering, and the way medicine is (or was) practiced, might be understood. ‘What can medical humanities do to make breathlessness more visible and why is that important? As we (hopefully) start to emerge from two years of a pandemic that has literally stollen life and breath from millions around the world, I want to reflect upon a project that came to an end just as the pandemic started. That project, the Life of Breath, exemplifies a critical medical humanities approach in that it was interdisciplinary, concerned with lived experience, but also crucially, driven by a desire to make a difference for those most affected by this devastating symptom. I will reflect upon the invisibility of breathlessness in relation to embodied experience, but also in the social and political spheres, and explain how the medical humanities might help to open out the understanding and knowledge of that experience, and start to find ways of improving the lives of breathless people.' Bio Jane Macnaughton is Professor of Medical Humanities at Durham University in the UK and Deputy Vice Provost for Research. Until 2021 she was Director of the University's Institute for Medical Humanities (IMH). Jane has been centrally involved in the development of medical humanities in the UK since 1998. She was part of the working group that set up the Association for Medical Humanities in 2001, and she established the Northern Network for Medical Humanities Research in 2013. Her own work focusses on the idea of the embodied symptom and she has just completed a five year project exploring the lived experience of breathlessness. Jane was a member of the Wellcome Trust Expert Review Group for established career awards in medical humanities from 2010-2020. Jane is a qualified doctor and until recently did sessional work as an Honorary Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University Hospital of North Durham.

Dr. Batchelor is the host of a podcast, “This is Getting Old – Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World”. This episode is part one and we discuss what the Center for Aging, Health & Humanities does, how the podcast “This Is Getting Old – Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World” focus on what's age-friendly is friendly for everyone, and how social media play an important role in our lives. We discuss ageism, the only “ism” that is still joked about. We wouldn't joke about racism so why do we purchase greeting cards reminding someone they're getting older? Ageism affects young and older adults in similar ways.

Overview: Veterans. We all know someone who has served in the military. We likely also know someone who suffers from depression, survivor’s guild, self-blame, impaired thinking caused by substance abuse, or some kind of post-traumatic stress. The number of veterans suffering and committing suicide is staggering. Shortly after the pandemic hit the US in March 2020, the Washington Times reported that per the Veterans Administration as many as 20 American veterans per day commit suicide. Some veterans eventually find and outlet. Some create their own like Román Baca. Guest: Román Baca is a classically trained ballet dancer and choreographer. In 2001, recognizing his desire to defend the defenseless, he took a hiatus from dance and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving as a machine-gunner and fire-team leader in Fallujah, Iraq during the Iraq War. After the war, Mr. Baca returned to dance and co-founded Exit 12 Dance Company, which tells veterans’ stories choreographically, to increase cross-cultural understanding and heal divisions. As Román was putting these important stories on stage, veterans were struggling with reintegration and dying by suicide. In response, so he launched a revolutionary program, Movement 2 Contact, to inspire those impacted by war by choreographing their stories. These two elements are at the crux of his expertise, which is supported by a knowledge he has gained along the way in nonprofit administration, strategy, marketing, fundraising, research, dance, and choreography – which I love sharing with students through lectures, guest teaching opportunities, mentorships, and lecturing. Román is also working and volunteering in the following roles: a data analyst for a current research project for the Department of Defense, marketing for Soldiers’ Arts Academy in the UK, and is applying for a PhD in Performance Studies or Health Humanities. While happy in his position, Román does have interests in connecting with other professionals in social impact arts, veterans, peacebuilding, dance and choreography, and academia. He is looking to increase Exit12’s international reach and scale Exit12’s programs that connect veterans and civilians through movement.

Exploring the dangers of Disney’s take on poverty, mental health, and relationships. With backgrounds in medical humanities and school therapy and social work, Jenifer Fisher and Nikki York describe a recent project analysing Disney films in terms of how they depict poverty and mental illness and what solutions they present to these problems (almost always: get yourself rescued by one perfect relationship). Their analysis found a strong, and realistic, correlation between characters' adverse childhood experiences (ACE) score (a measure of neglect and abuse) and the incidence of poverty and mental illness in their portrayals. Our conversation explores concepts of the 'self-made man' and the 'virtuous poor', the reduction in emphasis on poverty in films since 1937, and the dangerous consequences of presenting singular relationships as solutions to mental health problems.
A series of narrative workshops helping make life better for fat people. Drawing on training in social science and medicine respectively, Rachel Fox and Kelly Park describe a series of workshops for medical students and fat participants designed to combat weight stigma. They outline their quantitative and qualitative findings, including the importance of physical presence in tackling the physiological and phenomenological aspects of fat phobia, the importance of narrative cues in permitting obliquely creative transformations of difficult experiences, and the importance of getting beyond one-sided correction of prejudice towards a more equal and reciprocal learning process.
An introduction to an often overlooked context for using narrative in healthcare: public health. A creative writer and public health practitioner and researcher, Lise Saffran explains the practice and rationale for using narrative in public health as opposed to clinical or medical contexts. We explore in particular the difficulties of constructing and assessing truth versus salience or persuasiveness in public health narratives, and how working with narrative changes the nature of research practice and communication.
